An exception to this is when someone like Sehwag speaks up. A really smashing read.

Read the whole article. A pretty good mini-stat attack on Tendulkar's record.

And if you, like me, missed the double century live, this site (via @vishal_c) has the entire highlights package. Watch it before someone takes it down.
